If you cannot find an idea for a mitzvah project, this book will certainly point you in the right direction." —Dr. Matthew King, EdD, head of the Rashi School, Dedham, Massachusetts "An incredible tool for religious schools, youth groups and any family who wishes to make the Bar/Bat Mitzvah year a life-changing experience…. [A] powerful book." —Rabbi M. Bruce Lustig, senior rabbi, Washington Hebrew Congregation, Washington, DC “A treasure-trove of amazing ideas….
